Chapter 2588: Whistling Down (Forty-Six)

Chapter 2562: The Screeching (Forty-six)

After dinner, Jason and Tim were driven out of the house by Schiller. They yelled in the house for a long time, insisting that they were good at cleaning, but Schiller still drove them all away for the sake of his hearing.

Elsa was left behind because the moose meat in the refrigerator needed a place to go. He went to the backyard to sort out the parts of the barbecue grill, assembled the barbecue grill, which was originally very simple, and let Elsa grill meat in the backyard.

Schiller sorted things in the front hall. He really didn't do this job much, but he also had a lot of references. When Merkel dealt with chaos, she tended to collect all the things that were not in their original positions and put them aside, cleaned the floor, walls and other things that could not be moved, and then slowly selected the things that had been collected before, put those that were not broken back in place, and sent the broken ones for repair or simply threw them away.

Schiller also tried this method. He collected all the decorations and sculptures that fell on the ground and piled them in the dining room. He took out a broom and a small vacuum cleaner to clean the floor of the living room.

Fortunately, the raven's power in the house was not very strong, which was almost equivalent to putting a firecracker in the living room. However, some things were smashed to the ground, and there were some black ash and explosion marks on the ground, as well as scratches from things falling.

Schiller swept away the fragments of the broken things and cleaned the dust with a vacuum cleaner, but there were still some strange marks on the floor, and it seemed that a mop was necessary.

Merkel basically did not use a mop, because the building materials of the manor were too primitive, and many places could not withstand moisture. And because he cleaned frequently, there were basically no stains that had to be cleaned with cleaning fluid, so the mop was naturally useless.

The mop was also a new thing for Schiller. Except when he needed to borrow the cleaner's box to store human fragments and needed to use a mop to disguise it, Schiller had never used it to clean.

But the house still provided various types of mops. In addition to the traditional style of cloth strips, there were sponge mops, mops made of materials like layers of silk screen, and hard rubber mops underneath.

Schiller looked at the various tools hanging in the tool room and decided to take out his phone to check. At this time, Aisha's voice came from outside, so Schiller had to put down his phone and walk over.

Aisha held up a roasted moose hoof and asked Schiller if he wanted to eat it. Schiller shook his head. Seeing Schiller in the tool room, Aisha put the moose hoof on the plate next to him and ran over quickly.

"What are you doing?" When Aisha was not in a hurry, she spoke well. If you ignore the condition of her eyes and teeth, she can be called a cute little human girl.

"I'm going to mop the floor." Schiller said, "I'm going to check how to use these mops. I'm not sure if ordinary mops can be used to clean the marks left by magic."

Elsa looked back at the living room and said, "There are no traces of magic there. It looks like some ordinary scratches. But are you going to check it online? Why not call Alfred and ask?"

Schiller was stunned. He had never thought about this before. The main reason was that Alfred didn't look like someone who cleaned the house in an ordinary way. He looked like the kind of magic old butler who could make the whole manor look brand new with just a breath.

If that wasn't the case, it would be hard to explain how he could clean such a large manor by himself.

Schiller hesitated for a moment and felt that there was no need to disturb Alfred for such a small matter. What if Alfred really said that he could clean it with just a breath, then he couldn't let the old butler run here.

Just as Schiller was about to continue typing in the search bar on his phone, the phone rang suddenly. Schiller saw that it was the number of Wayne Manor.

"Hello, hello, yes, Alfred, they had dinner at my place, and Elsa might stay here for one night... Is that right?"

"It's nothing serious, my living room... Have you heard what they said?"

Schiller walked out of the tool room with the phone, came to the living room, looked down at the marks under his feet and said, "No, there is no problem with the reflection, the marks are black, flush with the surface, and it doesn't seem to damage the floor. I used a vacuum cleaner, but this thing can't be cleaned up."

"Yes, it's striped, there are some on the wooden legs of the sofa, and then there are some fan-shaped brown marks, maybe I can take a picture for you..."

Schiller kept talking, took a few photos with his mobile phone and sent them to Alfred. Alfred soon began to give a speech in the receiver, from the theory of the composition of stains and dust to organic chemistry, and then talked about the engineering of the invention and design of cleaning tools, and how to comfort and educate children in trouble. Child psychology...

In fact, the last part is what Schiller needs more. He wanted to review it before, because the source of depression and irritability of most of the rich customers he will face next is children.

After talking for more than ten minutes, Schiller hung up the phone. He had completely understood the theoretical part of stain removal, and the next step was to see the practice.

According to Alfred, stains can be roughly divided into two categories, one is that which does not damage the surface, and the other is that which damages the surface.

The vast majority of stains are the first type, such as dust, soil stains, spilled soup, etc., which only need to remove the stain itself.

Use a vacuum cleaner for solid stains, and use an ordinary mop to wipe away the soup and water. If the stain contains oily components, add some detergent, and everything is simple.

The latter is more troublesome. Alfred told Schiller a story about the Robins playing with fire in the house and burning the floor of the covered bridge near the garden black.

The floor itself was not burned, but the surface was completely burned. In this case, you need to vacuum first, then wipe the stains, then mix the cleaning liquid, rub it hard with a hard mop, and then wax and polish the floor again. Schiller was overwhelmed.

He carefully checked the floor. The black and brown marks did not damage the surface. A simple wipe should be enough. The more troublesome thing is that the wood carvings and decorations scratched the floor when they fell.

Alfred said that he could also ask a professional team to come and polish it, but Schiller felt that there were only two or three marks in total, and there was no need to ask a professional to come to the door. He decided to do it himself.

Aisha said she wanted to help, and Schiller didn't refuse. The process of sweeping and vacuuming was completed. Schiller carried the mop to the backyard, where there was a sink for washing mops.

Aisha put on gloves and followed him. Schiller washed the mop. Aisha's height was just right, so she didn't have to bend down or lift the mop to wring the mop head dry.

Aisha thought for a while and said, "I think I should leave more water the first time, so that it won't be too hard to wipe, and it will also make it easier for the cleaning liquid to foam. The second time, it should be a little dryer, so that there will be no water stains."

"Can you clean?" Schiller asked curiously.

"I haven't done it myself, but I saw the aunties in the kindergarten do it this way." Aisha said while twisting the mop: "They drove us out to play, the teacher didn't let me get close to the slide, and I didn't like to slide with them, so I lay on the window and watched them work."

As Aisha said this, Schiller also remembered that the figure of the aunties mopping the corridors would always go back and forth two or three times until he grew up. In fact, he didn't know why they came so many times. Now I think it may be because a corridor needs to be mopped once wet and once dry.

According to Aisha, Schiller wiped the marks with a relatively wet mop. Some marks were wiped off directly, but some were still stubborn, so Schiller went to the tool room to find cleaning liquid.

Because this kind of house usually has professional housekeepers, the cleaning liquid is not the kind of popular brand that can be poured directly on, but needs to be mixed. Fortunately, there is no need to follow any laboratory regulations here, just get a bucket and some water, and pour it in according to the proportion.

Schiller glanced at the ratio Alfred sent him via text message, picked one that was more suitable for the floor at home, asked Aisha to get a bucket of water, ignored the teeth marks on the edge of the bucket, and began to pour cleaning liquid into it.

After mixing the cleaning liquid and wiping it once, most of the stains were removed, but there were still some scratches underneath. Schiller guessed that it might be due to some sharp force, because the radial shape of these scratches could be clearly seen.

If there were so many places to polish, it would be more troublesome. Schiller checked and found that there were no deep scratches overall. He wiped it a few more times, and then after dry mopping, he found that the floors in other places were as clean as new, so it was still not worth asking someone to come.

Waxing and polishing are more troublesome jobs. Schiller sat on the sofa and studied the strategy sent by Alfred with Aisha for a long time, and found the feeling of reading other people's experimental analysis reports when he first entered the academic world.

Aisha has an amazing talent for hands-on practice, and basically inherited her father's hands-on ability. She mixed all the filling powder and polishing paste, and Schiller was responsible for skillfully using child psychology to encourage her.

The rest of the process was relatively simple. Use pigments to color the powder paste, fill it into the deeper scratches, blow it dry with a hot air blower, apply polishing wax, and then use an electric rotary polisher and mop to rub it.

This work took more than an hour, and the final result was still very satisfactory. Even if you look closely, you can't see the disaster that the floor has suffered.

Then you move the decorations that were moved away before back in different categories. Schiller remembered where each item was placed, so he put them back in place.

The statue that was given to the postman had been washed long ago and was now put back on the table. When the light was turned on, the whole living room was bright as new.

But soon Schiller found some white cotton wool next to the bookshelf, and then he remembered that there was a cut on the back of the bat doll.

He turned the bat doll he had picked up from the sofa next to him and found that the hole on the back was quite long and cotton was still leaking out.

Very good, it seems that the next course he will study is tailoring. Could it be that he just happens to have an acquaintance who is proficient in sewing?

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.
